A major development project is on the horizon for Edmond, Oklahoma, as city officials and planning experts gathered to discuss a transformative vision for the area. During a recent Planning Commission meeting, representatives from the development team outlined their ambitious plans, which have been in the works for nearly four years.
Tom Blaylock, representing the property owners, introduced key team members, including Hank Bridal from Whitehorse Planning, who will lead the presentation. Blaylock emphasized the collaborative effort between the development team and city staff, highlighting the alignment of their project with the long-range planning goals set forth in the Edmond 2018 and Edmond Plan 2050.
"This is a once-in-a-generation project," Blaylock stated, reflecting on the family's long-term investment in the community. He noted that the vision for the development aims to bring concepts like "village center" and "new urbanism" to life, creating a vibrant town center that enhances the area.
The project is rooted in a legacy that began in 1996 when the family started acquiring property in the region. Blaylock expressed excitement about the potential impact of the development, which aims to foster a multi-generational business community.
As the meeting progressed, Bridal began to present detailed plans, indicating a strong commitment to engaging with the community throughout the development process. The team is poised to move forward, with the hope of turning their vision into reality, promising a significant transformation for Edmond's landscape.
